For outdoor use only!
WARNING
Hot tub/Spa care and sanitizing is the sole
responsibility of the owner. In some cases a residual
sanitizer must be present to minimize cross
contamination. Hot tubs/Spas are not intended to
treat infections. Never allow use of hot tub/spa if you
are unable to verify the condition of open sores,
wounds, lesions, cuts, sores, abrasions, boil, etc. or
infections of any type exist. The best industry
practice is to maintain a minimum of 1 PPM residual
chlorine sanitizer in the water at all times. The best
industry practice will minimize the possibility of cross
contamination; however; will not eliminate the
possibility.

2) Equipment Set-up
For best results it is highly recommended that the hot tub be drained
and thoroughly cleaned to remove residual dirt and contaminants
prior to installation of the Aero-Spa™ system. The system should be
cleaned with Aero-Spa™ pipe cleaner and filled with filtered water
through the Aero-Spa™ Fill Filter. The hot tub filter element should be
replaced or cleaned using the Aero-Spa™ filter cleaner.
a) Set the equipment on a
level solid spacer block
that is at least 2 3/8”
thick and at least 10
from the hot tub that is
not prone to flooding
(equipment is weather
proof but not
waterproof) (Figure 2). If
the supplied ozone tube
is not of adequate
length, move the
equipment closer to the
hot tub but not closer
than 10. Do not extend
or shorten the ozone
tube. If the tube is too
long, coil the excess
tube in an 8” diameter
coil. Note: an
improperly sized
ozone tube will
detrimentally affect the
performance and life of
this product and may void
the warranty!
b) Connect the ozone tube from
the generator to the 20’
ozone tube connected to the
sintered diffuser.
c) Loop the ozone tube over the
edge of the hot tub (figure 3).

d) Lower the sintered diffuser into
the hot tub and allow it to rest
on the bottom.
e) If the hot tub has a hard cover,
align the ozone tube with the
center seam of the cover and
allow it to lie in the gap to
ensure that it is not pinched
when the cover is closed. The
clear protector tube must be
positioned in the gap (see figure
4).
f) Locate the closest electrical
outlet on the house or garage
that is at least 10’ from the hot
tub that can be used to supply
power to the equipment (Figure
5)
3) Grounding Instructions:
a) This product must be grounded. In the event of an electrical
short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by
providing an escape wire for the electric current. This product
is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with an
appropriate grounding plug (type 5-15P).
The plug must be plugged into an outlet
(type 5-15R) that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances. DANGER Improper
installation of the grounding plug can result
in a risk of electric shock. If repair or
replacement of the cord or plug is
necessary, do not connect the grounding
wire to either flat blade terminal. The
wire with insulation having an outer
surface that is green with or without
yellow stripes is the grounding wire.
Check with a qualified electrician or
serviceman if the grounding
instructions are not completely
understood, or if in doubt as to whether
Figure 6

Power cord to Aero-
Spa™ equipment
the product is properly grounded.
b) Do not modify the plug provided; if it will not fit the outlet,
have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. This
product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit and has a
grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated (type 5-15P)
in Figure 6. Make sure that the product is connected to an
outlet (type 5-15R) having the same configuration as the plug.
No adapter should be used with this product. This product
has an automatically reset thermal limiter, which shuts off the
entire product when an elevated temperature condition exists.
When the product cools it will automatically restart.
c) Only if required, obtain a UL outdoor rated extension cord
Never locate the Aero-Spa™ generator closer than 10’ from
the hot tub.
d) Insert the electrical plug from the Aero-Spa™ into the
extension cord.
e) Insert the GFCI & Surge Protector Plug (Figure 7) into the
electrical outlet identified in step 3) Figure 5.
f) Insert the cycle timer cord into the GFCI breaker identified in
(Figure 7).
g) Insert the 120 VAC power cord or the extension cord
identified in 3) above into the cycle timer
4) Turning Product On
a) Press the “reset” button (Figure 7). The equipment will be
turned “on” and
will be running.
Occasionally
GFCI breakers
will experience
nuisance
tripping. This will
shut off the
power to the
equipment. If
this occurs,
press the “reset”
button. If

Button

pressing the “reset” button does not start the equipment,
unplug the extension cord and press the “reset” button. If the
“reset” button does not “hold in”, replace the GFCI breaker. If
the button does “hold in”, plug the ex-tension cord into the
GFCI breaker and unplug the equip-ment from the other end.
Press the “reset” button. If the “reset” button does not “hold
in” replace the extension cord. If the “reset” button does “hold
in” contact Aero-Spa™. Note: Do not operate this equipment
without a GFCI breaker installed. TIP: In the event of a power
outage, the GFCI device will need to be reset manually.
b) The equipment will begin to operate. You will hear a faint hum
from the generator and a steady bubble stream will be
emitted from the diffuser.
c) Adjust the timer to operate 2 hours of run time 2 times per
day. Adjust the timer based on your use habits. Reducing the
run time while maintaining water clarity will maximize the
equipment life and minimize power consumption.
Maintenance and Care
This product has no user serviceable parts. If service is required, call
or return the product to an authorized service representative.
Attempts to service the ozone generator will void the customer
satisfaction policy and Limited Warranty and expose the user to
electrical shock which may cause severe injury or death. Keep the
area around the product free of leaves and other debris. If debris
enters the product through the air intake holes, unplug the product
and carefully remove the debris. Restart product (see section 3)g).
Fill & Start-Up Recommendations
Our customers have been using the Aero-Spa™ system as the
primary water treatment process for years without harsh chemicals.
Because we cannot control how your hot tub is used/maintained and
according to the EPA we must recommend maintaining at 1 2 PPM
of an approved residual sanitizer to minimize cross contamination of
users. To put this into perspective, to obtain a 1 PPM ratio in a 500
gallon hot tub, you would need to add about 0.63 OZ (1.25
tablespoons) of regular household bleach (6% sodium hypochlorite).

If you substitute swimming pool chlorine (10% 15% sodium
hypochlorite) you would need about half as much.
The suggested method on fill and start-up would be to use sodium
dichlor on the initial application of the sanitizer and then the first time
you need to adjust the free chlorine. Any subsequent time the free
chlorine needs to be adjusted use 0.63 OZ (1.25 tablespoons) of
regular household bleach (6% sodium hypochlorite). The reason for
this is that the sodium dichlor contains cyanuric acid (CYA) as a
stabilizing agent. The CYA keeps the chlorine from degrading. If you
continue to use soduim dichlor to raise the free chlorine, over time the
CYA builds up in the water and makes the chlorine ineffective. The
initial application of sodium dichlor will have enough CYA to stabilize
the chlorine for the long run. This method will minimize maintenance
and save you money! The easy formula is first and second application
is sodium dichlor and all others bleach.
